Comment 9 for bug 184711

Update: I was able to the the "Network" GUI to work. It did write the the file with the extra line "auto eth0" at the end (not something I've seen in online examples). That said, ifup and ifdown still don't work and "Configure" from the "Network Tools" interface still does not see the interface.

I may have a been a bit harsh above but it stills seems quirky with changes to something very basic. If "auto eth0" has always been required, someone please let me know.
